PhD student Eric Giunta gave a brief preview of his poster during the "Pooled international studies in epidemiology" session last week in Montreal, Canada. Eric did a great job presenting on his work, which involves upgrading radiation epidemiology tools to take advantage of high performance computing. The 17th International Congress for Radiation Research was an excellent opportunity to interface with radiation researchers from around the world!
